A vibration-damping material consisting of two metal plates and a vibration-damping layer of thermoplastic resin interposed between the two metal plates, in which said thermoplastic resin has a percentage of wlongation at 20.degree. C. of 30% or more, preferably 50% or more, a peak temperature of dissipation factor (tan .delta.) in the range of -50.degree. C. to 130.degree. C., and a bonding strength toward the metal plates of 3 kg/cm or more as determined by 180.degree.-peeling test at 20.degree. C.

Vibration-damping material

Oil well pipe joint and manufacturing method therefor

An oil well pipe joint comprising a metal-to-metal sealing portion without thread is disclosed. A metal-plated or resin-coated layer exhibiting improved resistance to galling is provided on the outer peripheral surface of a thread-free lip portion which constitutes part of the metal-to-metal sealing portion on an externally-threaded member. At the metal sealing portion, satisfactory sealing properties are maintained under severe corrosive conditions, enabling the joint to be connected and disconnected over 10 times, and usually over 25 times.

Oil well pipe joint

A method and apparatus of continuous electroplating of a strip with an alloy by passing the strip through a plating bath of the immersion type in both down-pass and up-pass with an anode being positioned in each pass so as to face at least one side of the strip are disclosed. Said anode is an insoluble anode which is spaced from the strip by a distance of about 10-50 mm, and the plating solution is blown into the gap between said anode and said strip countercurrently with respect to the movement of said strip.

Method and apparatus for continuous electroplating of alloys

A rigid metal-resin-metal sandwich laminate capable of withstanding 180.degree. bending with a threshold bending inner diameter of less than or equal to twice the total laminate thickness and suitable for use in the manufacture of building materials, containers, and particularly automotive parts including automotive outer panels is disclosed. The laminate comprises a resin layer sandwiched between and bonded to outer metal layers wherein the resin layer is comprised of a core sheet sandwiched between outer resin sheets, said core sheet being made of a resin which exhibits plastic behavior and which is bonded to said outer resin sheets with or without an adhesive layer, and said outer resin sheets being made of a ductile resin which does not exhibit yielding behavior or necking when stretched.

Metal-resin-metal sandwich laminates suitable for use in press forming

A joint for used in connecting oil well casing and/or tubing and method of producing same are disclosed. The joint with improved metal-to-metal sealing properties as well as improved resistance to galling is made of an alloy steel containing 10% or more by weight of Cr and comprises a metal sealing portion and a threaded portion provided with an activating layer of a metal or an alloy selected iron, nickel, zinc, cobalt, copper, manganese, chromium and alloys thereof, and an electrodeposited layer of a metal or an alloy selected from iron, copper, zinc, chromium, nickel, and alloys thereof.

Oil well casing and tubing joint and production of same

A process for producing one-side electroplated steel sheet with the non-electroplating side having a high affinity for chemical conversion treatment is disclosed. The process comprises preparing a one-side electroplated steel sheet by applying a cathodic current thereto in an acidic plating bath simultaneously while slightly electroplating the non-electroplating surface thereof with a coating weight of 0.5 to 5 g/m.sup.2 by applying a cathodic current through said non-electroplating surface, and then applying electrolysis to said non-electroplating surface by passing an anodic current through said non-electroplating surface to thoroughly remove said electrodeposition on said non-electroplating surface.
